Trying to create single select list, Stumped

[enoc22]

Hi All,

   I've been trying to create an input control single select list(drop down) for some of my reports. I've spent hours trying to figure this out and sadly I'm stumped. I don't have a clue where to go from here.

I have my reports on a Linux server running Jasper Server, I'm creating my reports with iReports, what I'm trying to accomplish is when a report comes up i want to have a simple drop down list to select one of two options(Ascending or Descending), when one of those options is selected it will send the selected to a parameter $P{sort} which will put either ASC or DESC into the mysql.

Has anyone done something similar successfully?

Thanks a million

Oliver

Anything? I know this is possible, and tons of people have asked how, But i never see any answers on how? is this some secret only paid members get?
